A couple years ago, she realized some of the chemicals and treatments used to style her hair and also products that she used on her skin were not healthy for the body, which is what led to starting her own business in the cosmetic industry and providing products and services that would help her community.

Shantell has been featured on ABC 7 news for her products. Some of Shantell’s Natural Hair best-selling products are Sweet Vanilla Hair Gel, SNH Hair & Body Cream, Sun Kiss’D Hair Gel & Pink watermelon lip gloss.
